Mu Churan drank medicine three times a day, and Xiao He personally fed him to drink.

Seeing that he was exempted from the drug test every time, Xiao He almost couldn't help but add a little material to him, but in the end he couldn't do it.

Somehow, she didn't want to ruin his trust at the moment.

The second day, the third day, and the next few days were all right.

Medicine, take it on time, and be in a good mood. Mu Churan's illness naturally cured quickly. Although he was cured, he didn't let go of Xiao He to go back to Jixian Palace, and Xiao He didn't ask, he pressed this matter first.

At the end of February, the Queen Mother invited the ladies of the court and the Chinese to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden.

also sent someone to invite Mu Churan over.

Mu Churan was in the imperial study, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Xiao He, "Let's go and have a look with me." ”

Xiao He said in his heart, what does it matter to me that you choose a daughter-in-law, but she is not allowed to shirk it, so she was taken to the imperial garden by Mu Churan.

Most of the ladies in the imperial garden are young women, all of whom are the daughters of princes and ministers, and even Duan Shengyi is among them.

Xiao He only followed behind Mu Churan, and after a few glances from a distance, he knew the queen mother's intentions.

In fact, people who understand it know at a glance what it means.

The gardens are full of school-age girls, one by one like the most splendid flowers in spring, not yet blooming but dyed in spring, delicate, and the eyebrows are written in poetry.

As long as Mu Churan nodded, he just waited for him to nod.

The Queen Mother saw that Mu Churan was coming, although there was still a Xiao He behind her, but she tried her best to show herself an elegant smile and ordered someone to show Mu Churan her talents. Mu Churan loves talent, of course, he also loves literature, although Da Yin believes that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, but if she can chant poetry and make her words elegant, I believe that she will be able to enter his eyes.

These daughters, except for Duan Shengyi, the rest of the women are all famous talented women in the imperial capital, and they are all good-looking, it is difficult to be cold and light everywhere, follow Mu Churan's preferences, gather such twenty or thirty talented and good-looking women, presumably there must be at least one or two people who can make him take a fancy to it.

After everyone finished showing, Leng Qingchen smiled slightly and looked at Mu Churan, but he couldn't see any joy on his face. Her smile couldn't help but turn cold, and she asked softly, "Isn't there any one the emperor likes?" ”

Mu Churan smiled indifferently, "My son is worried about his mother, the war is still unsettled, and there are many government affairs, so it is really not appropriate to consider the affairs of the harem at this time." ”

With a word, he prevaricated the cold light marks.

After speaking, without waiting for Leng Qingxing's reaction, he turned around and left with Xiao He and went back to the imperial study.

As soon as Mu Churan left, Leng Qingzhi's face instantly turned cold to freezing point, which made the people around him tremble, for fear that he would make some mistake and be disposed of casually by the Queen Mother.

Duan Shengyi was summoned into the palace, originally thinking that he would be able to meet Shang Mu Churan and talk to him, but he didn't expect to sit with a bunch of irrelevant women. While waiting, listening to their words, they also revealed their guesses about the Queen Mother's intentions, and I was even more angry. Originally, she hoped that no matter what she said, she should be closer to Mu Churan than others, but she didn't want to see herself at all in Mu Churan's eyes.

At this moment, seeing Mu Churan leaving without looking back, she didn't care about etiquette, so she chased after her.

The palace people were about to stop her, but when they saw Leng Qingchen's eyebrows moving slightly, they raised their hands and signaled that they didn't need to care. At this time, Mu Churan can't control it, it's okay to make a fuss about this Shengyi, it's just to vent her anger for herself.

Seeing that Duan Shengyi chased after her, she was not in the mood to sit here, so she drove back to the palace.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Brother Chu Ran ......"

Mu Churan heard her shouting from behind, not only did she not stop, but she walked faster.

Xiao He glanced back, only to see Duan Shengyi glaring at her fiercely, as if he was about to eat her alive.

Mu Churan saw that Xiao He was still looking back, so he simply grabbed her hand and ran away. The stone road in the imperial garden is not easy to walk, but both of them have practiced martial arts, let go of their steps, and left Duan Shengyi behind in two clicks.

Mu Churan grabbed Xiao He and ran all the way, the two of them not only threw Duan Shengyi away from afar, but also threw the little eunuch who led the way away. Xiao He found that this route was not to go back to the imperial study, but to go around to the tower of the Purple City.

She didn't know why she followed him, she just ran forward, and she didn't ask the direction or the purpose.

The afternoon sun shines on people's faces warmly, and there is no shelter on this city tower, but it is a good place to bask in the sun.

When the guards on the city tower saw Mu Churan and Xiao He, they were stunned at first, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Mu Churan waved his hand, "You wait and retreat first, I want to be quiet here." Several of the guards bowed their heads and retreated from the tower, giving way to the place.

Standing here, the first thing you see is the straight Suzaku Street, which divides the imperial capital into east and west, and there are several regular paths that divide it into small pieces, and small pieces of tofu are neatly arranged in boxes.

It's just that this box is not made of wood, but of green bricks.

For a long time, Mu Churan held Xiao He's hand and never let go.

Xiao He struggled twice before pulling his hand out.

Mu Churan looked back and looked at her as if she had just woken up from a big dream, "Stay with me for a while, okay?" ”

Only when the two of them get along, Mu Churan will occasionally call herself "I" in front of her, instead of "I". Every time he let go of this identity, he felt that he could get a little closer to her.

And only at this time, Xiao He didn't know how to refuse, so he said "um" and stood beside him.

In early spring, the afternoon sun is intoxicating.

And they stood on the tower, and they did not speak. Xiao He smelled the faint ambergris on his body, and wanted to open his mouth several times to urge him to go back, but he couldn't help it. Until I saw the sunset and the smoke curling from every house.

The little eunuch panted and ran up to the city tower, "Your Majesty, there is a battle report!" ”

Mu Churan was now in the right color, and his face was re-covered with a layer of awe-inspiring outside the landscape, as if he had changed in an instant, no longer the person who stood beside Xiao He and accompanied her to enjoy the sunset without words, but sat on the dragon chair of the Golden Palace, high and untouchable.

In order to find Mu Churan, the group of eunuchs in the Internal Affairs Office quickly turned over the Zijin City, and Gonggong Liu was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and rewarded the little eunuch who followed the emperor to the imperial garden with more than a dozen slaps and was not relieved.

It was not easy to learn from the guards that the emperor was actually standing on the city tower watching the scenery, so he hurriedly followed him and cautiously returned to the imperial study.

The Saibei front was a great victory, not only killing the leader of the Chishui Tribe, but also supporting the new leader for them.

Now Ji Changge and Duan Heng are returning to the dynasty with the new leader and tribute, and they are already on their way back to the imperial capital.

Ji Changge is indeed a general, using soldiers like a god, and he is brave and strategic, not only won the battle, but also resolved the contradictions of the northern Saibei tribe. The new leader, Daduo, was originally the prince of the Chishui tribe, but his uncle killed his father and seized the throne, so he raised the banner to the south in order to divert the internal contradictions within the tribe.

Ji Changge has now killed this usurper, which can be regarded as avenging him. In addition, the grassland is very cold this year, the weather is treacherous, it is February, it has not warmed up for a long time, many cattle and sheep have frozen to death, and they are no longer able to support the war. This time, he followed the Great Yin army back to the court, although it was called tribute, but in fact he called the Great Yin a minister and asked for assistance.

Xiao He heard that Ji Changge had been reinstated and had won the battle, and he unconsciously showed joy.

Although Mu Churan was also happy about the success of the war, seeing Xiao He's happy face made him a little unhappy. Xiao He pleaded for Ji Changge that day, he still remembered it clearly.

He didn't bother to see her dangling in front of her again, and waved her hand to get her down.

Back at Xiao's Mansion, Xiao Shi discussed with her about getting the key drawings.

"Have you planned it?" Xiao He was a little suspicious, "Don't hurt people." ”

"As long as you pretend to be someone." Xiao Shi's idea is very simple.

He wanted to use the reputation of Qinglongtang to scare people, in recent years, the jade-faced rakshasa of Qinglongtang's connector has acted in a high-profile manner, and he has some reputation in the rivers and lakes. And he knew the rules of Qinglong Hall very well, so he asked Xiao He to pretend to be a jade-faced rakshasa, and he didn't need to open his mouth at that time, he would threaten a little on the side, and then exchange the drawing with silver.

It's a big deal to find a craftsman to make the key, and then send him the drawings back.

"Your idea is indeed a bit ......" Xiao He couldn't imagine what it was like to pretend to be a female killer.

"No hurting, no killing, no robbery, just scaring him a little, and I can't think of anything else." Xiao Shi said with his arms crossed.

"It's just that I'm used to being a man, and if I want to play the jade-faced Rakshasa, it's too ......" Xiao He hesitated.

"It's true that it's very difficult for you to be a woman again, but you don't have to make a sound when the time comes, as long as you look like it." Xiao Shi felt that this shouldn't be a difficult thing, but he really looked down on Xiao He.

In order to practice first, she changed into Hongzhu's usual dress and walked a few steps around the house. Xiao Shi leaned against the door, looked at her back, shook his head and smiled. She pretended to be a palace maid that day, and she was indeed a little enchanting when she stood still, and when she walked quickly, she didn't look like a palace maid at all, but fortunately it was at night, and she didn't really want to mix in the palace maid pile, otherwise she would definitely be exposed.

"Haven't you been to Wanhualou before, you can go whatever the girls there do." Xiao Shi said by the door.

Xiao He turned his head and glared at him, "You have less mouth." Turning to look at Hongzhu, "What do you think?" ”

Hongzhu pursed her lips and smiled, "Childe is used to men's clothing, and it is normal that he can't change it for a while." ”

Hongzhu said it quite tactfully.

Xiao He sighed, "Your method is not good, it is better to let Hongzhu play it." ”

"She doesn't know martial arts, in case she gets into some trouble when she gets out, do you think it's feasible?" Xiao Eleven's words made her dispel her thoughts.

"Forget it, I'll do it." Xiao He looked down at the hem of his skirt, he had the heart to learn, and it was not impossible. She closed her eyes and quietly traced in her mind the demeanor of the girls.
